Undoubtedly two of the most exciting next-gen producers making moves in drum and bass of late, Pola & Bryson have shot onto the scene with their own carefully sculpted brand of melodic electronic music that centres around a stripped-back, organic sound palette. Pola & Bryson’s debut album 'This Time Last Year' on their Soulvent Records imprint put the duo firmly on the map, whilst their sophomore album 'Lost In Thought' on Shogun Audio was nominated for best album in the Drum&BassArena Awards. In a matter of years, Pola & Bryson have already been enlisted to remix the likes of Moby, David Guetta, Wilkinson, Venbee, and Camo & Krooked, as well as collaborating on an EP with the legendary DJ Marky. And do we even need to mention the duo’s bootleg of Adam F’s 'Circles' that has quite literally been played in every rave imaginable? While most producers take years to write their next album, 2021 saw Pola & Bryson write and release their third studio album 'Beneath The Surface' on Shogun Audio. A conceptual album written to an imagined landscape, this ambitious body of work has led to D&B legends such as Sub Focus claiming the duo are “leading the new wave of liquid drum and bass”. With sophistication well beyond their young years, Pola & Bryson are showing no signs of slowing down as they continue to take their music and performances to new heights. The massive success of 'Complete', 'Tell You What I Did ft. Zitah' and ‘Into The Night’ in 2022 has now been followed by a feature on dance music superstar Sub Focus’ latest album and their recent collaboration with Emily Makis ‘Phoneline’. The latter has already cemented itself as their biggest release to date, picking up immense streaming and radio support, as well as being dubbed by many as ‘2023’s D&B anthem’.
